Problem with nvidia drivers after SuSE You kernel patch

My system has been totally stable for around 2 years until two days ago when
i did a kernel update through YOU on SUSE's Servers. It was a kernel
update. Now when I try to start X or sax2 with the nvidia drivers
installed, I get about half a root window and that's it. The strange thing
is that I can't cntrl-alt-bckspce out of X and the system seems frozen
except for the mouse continues to work. I have tried every kind of re
installation of the drivers and the xserver. I have tried every kind of
configuration in xorg.conf that I can come up with to na avail. I just
can't figure it out. If I load the nv dummy drivers, X will run (this is a
dual head system) ok but it's a little jumpy if a movie is running in xine
or something. It wants to skip and never has before. I can provide any CLI
output you need to help but I am just at my wits end and at the end of my
working knowledge of X issues. I have been running SuSE since version 5.0
so I do have some experience here. I just can't seem to come up with an
answer. I do wonder if it might be GL specific but I don't know enough
about mesa and gl to figure it out. The reason i say this is because that
before, even when the NV drivers were loaded, i could run glxgears (at a
much slower performance rate) but it would run. Now, I can't run ANY 3D
code in X. I get an error that says the extension is missing. Well, I hope
that is enough info for now. This is SUSE vs 10 totally patched up to date
and kernel vs 2.6.13-15.13-default, X Window System Version 6.8.2.
